seeing how at least one of the Stones is an avid painter

just putting this up, Vincent has long been one of my faves..

don't see how anyone doubted this the first time around

Wonderful painting and a sensational find! No doubt it's a van Gogh, only the castle(?) in the back looks like it may have been painted/added by a more fastidous painter.

Fantastic. Dear Lord, plop enough money in my lap for a visit to Amsterdam so I can see this.

It's gorgeous.

Everyone can stop asking "Where did Van Gogh?" now.

Looks to me like he used Photoshop though...

Gorgeous, would look nice in the living room.

it was kept out of sight until officially authenticated...

they weren't sure...

Thanks Duke!

I'm a major art lover so keep it coming.

I know a guy who's a major in the army... and he's an art lover too.
He's also a major art lover.

Thank God, I'm not in the army!

Major Art Lover is the son of Major Major Major Major. Where art and literature meet.

I didn't mention that it's the Salvation Army...

Well, at least that's what he thought when he enlisted. It turns out that because the "s" key and the "d" key are next to each other on the keyboard... that he actually enlisted in the Dalmation Army. You should see him dressed up in his uniform...

OK not Vincent...
Eugene Boudin.

before Impressionism, Monet , Boudin did plein air and really preceded the impressionists..great in the moment stuff

Quite funny actually. It was considered 'fake' for the last 100 years as just about any and all expert considered it 'too ugly' and 'too badly made' to be a Van Gogh. Now it turns out the be real, and all I read is that it is most frigging amazing important super duper fantastic incredible worth-at-least 2 trilion billion dollars work.

Let's be fair: it's ugly, Van Gogh wrote it is a failure, all colours have dissapeared over time, it is crap. It just shows how the art world is just a bunch of crap.

I don't get what the appeal is for those who think Van Gogh's paintings are so great. It looks like something any amateur beginner could come up with. The trees look like squiggly lines. The sky is a bunch of smudges that looks more like a patched up old quilt than a sky. Could someone point out what's so astounding about this painting?

Better ?

well I reckon this is as subjective as a lot of music is..

if you don't like it its OK

in the context of art Vincent shook up conventions and he was being true to himself..

There's no denial of how great and utterly important artist Van Gogh was, but this 'new' work just isn't all that great. It's an outtake!

Mathijs

Stunning! A true treasure.. I went to the Kroller Museum outside of Amsterdam to see VG paintings. A great experience; to see so many of his works in one place.

even van Gogh had is bad days…

An outtake, Mathijs?

That's brilliant, I'm gonna use that one from here on out.

Next time I burn dinner, I'll claim it's an outtake...oh, the possibilities.

While I was confused by your previous post (art=crap while I was thinking from another thread that rap=crap), I must say that your post above is one of the funniest I have seen around here in a while... "It's an outtake!" To funny!

Peace,

But he also had a lot of greatest hits--here's one of his "warhorses" that gets a lot of showings whenever VG goes out on tour.
